Product Information

The Kärcher K 4 Compact pressure washer can make light work of even the biggest cleaning jobs.

With a 1800W motor, maximum pressure of 130 bar, and 420l/hr flow rate, you can expect to clean cars, bikes, garden furniture and fences and get remarkable results. Performance-wise it is on par with the more expensive K4 Full Control Pressure Washer. These are the smaller and lighter models. They are easy to transport and store, and they are cheaper than the premium/power control models. Home-Kit Has a compact design with 2 wheels, 2 handles and telescopic handles that make it easy to transport.

Basically, you can wash any car perfectly with any Kärcher electric pressure washer. We have tested all Kärcher models. Whether you use the entry-level K2 Compact or the high-end K7 Smart Premium, it doesn’t matter, your car will be clean. The K4 Power Control does not have a hose reel, but it has enough space for the hose. The power cord can be stored in the accessory compartment net. Speaking of the build, the Karcher K4 Full Control boasts a portable and ergonomic design. The machine’s portability is enhanced by its telescopic handle and large wheels. If you need to move the pressure to the other side of the garden, simply drag or push it along without having to lift it. So what are the differences? The compact version is more compact, it is the same spec as the full control counterpart. So the engine is the same, in terms of accessories you get a lance, however, the compact version is more basic and doesn’t have the visual settings of the full control version. Connect the app, however, and you can tell the K5 what you’re trying to clean, and it will set the required pressure and tell you how to adjust the lance for every stage, so as you clean the car or power-wash the driveway, you’re using the right spray pattern and setting for every step. Buy the Home version and Kärcher also bundles the T5 Surface cleaner for a thorough clean of any hard surfaces in your garden. You pay a lot for the smart features, and we’re not sure that using the app to control the lance is really that convenient. Still, if you want the ultimate in high-tech pressure washers, nothing else even comes close.
